SPAs: where did it all go wrong
Jake Ginnivan, Principal Consultant Arkahna
Single page apps (SPA's) have become a very popular way to build web applications. They offer incredible developer experience and allow the web to become far more ‘app like’ than ever before.
There is one problem with SPAs though; they actually suck.
In this talk I will take you on a practical deep dive show you how we can do better than the SPA model. We'll revisit our roots in traditional web apps and learn how we can use the same motivations that made SPA's so popular and re-apply them in a way that will make the web a better place.
A (probably not) unbiased critique of Web Components, among other things
Keith Cirkel, Software Cyber Shepherd GitHub
Let's critically dive into Web Components, the component model built into the browser. What can they solve for us? Should we be using them? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Can they replace the frameworks we're using today, or should they just complement them? What's missing and what's happening about that? In this talk we'll aim to answer all of those questions, look at the use-cases, address the misconceptions, and take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly.
